Event attendance

Request by: DaveLogic

With this hack when you create an event you can give the users an option to "register" to the event. Then you can view which people have registered to that event.

This could be used so you create an event and then other people notify that they will be attending to the event. You can then keep track of all the people that would be attending each event.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission

Excellent hack. I have just installed it.

Thanks a lot.

what revised! yeah i kinda agree and like you my site relies on this hack and the feature i wanted developed (events in profile) so i take it this isnt going to be done soon then

[SamirDarji]

I would work on it, but I've got work on my site I have to do first. I like the feature too, but it's not a priority at the moment. The SQL query is a good chunk of the work. Now the appropriate php files and templates that generate the profile need to be changed and tested.

[Benj]

what site do you use these on if you dont mind me asking

[SamirDarji]

My new site url is www.huntsvillecarscene.com, but I haven't start putting it out there as a replacement to hsv.streetracing.org since the old site still has more content.

can somebody help me with this?

that would be really great

I got this working by modifying calendar.php

find

if ($eventinfo['useroll']) { 
  unset($rollbits);
                
	                // Roll for this event
	                $show['userattending'] = false;
	                if (($roll = @unserialize($eventinfo['roll'])) && is_array($roll))
	                {
	                        if (array_key_exists($bbuserinfo['userid'], $roll))
	                        {
	                                $show['userattending'] = true;
	                        }

	                        foreach ($roll as $rollusername)
	                        {
	                                eval ('$rollbits .= "' . fetch_template('calendar_rollbit') . '";');
	                        }
	                }

and replace with:

         $rollcount=0;
if ($eventinfo['useroll']) { 
  unset($rollbits);
                
	                // Roll for this event
	                $show['userattending'] = false;
	                if (($roll = @unserialize($eventinfo['roll'])) && is_array($roll))
	                {
	                        if (array_key_exists($bbuserinfo['userid'], $roll))
	                        {
	                                $show['userattending'] = true;
	                        }

	                        foreach ($roll as $rollusername)
	                        {
	                                eval ('$rollbits .= "' . fetch_template('calendar_rollbit') . '";');
	                                $rollcount++;
	                        }
	                }

then edit calendar_roll template and add

There are currently $rollcount Participants enrolled in this event.

to whereever you want it to be displayed.

[D|ver]

wow thanks so much it is working without any problems

but how can i now insert the $rollcount number in the forumhome, where the upcoming events are listed.
i want to have this number right after each event, if possible

i tried it by adding the variable into the forumhome_event template, but without success...
can somebody help?

[SamirDarji]

To be able to use that variable outside the calendar templates, you'll have to find a way to execute the php code that generates the information behind $rollcount. If not, the variable will be empty. I'd look into the forum.php file and see how the upcoming events are generated. You'll probably have to add a lot since it doesn't even do the roll count there at all.

[SamirDarji]

I've run across something I'd find useful. After an event has passed, wouldn't it be nice if the "I will be attending/not be attending" option goes away. So people can't change the list after an event and you can see who planned on coming.

Or change the text to "I attended" rather than "I will be attending"?

As that will then keep a list of who was where, etc... and I think should still be editable as if someone cancelled last minute they could remove themselves... just as those who might attend last minute could add themselves
